Aur last but not least, Karan sir host kar rahe hain… toh woh ‘nepo husband’ waala card toh zarur use karunga (Whenever I’ve worn the mask, people wonder what I’m hiding. There’s a mystery, and that might help me here. This is a show for the age of Kalyug — no one knows who’s a friend or enemy. I’m entering with a strategy, and I hope the mystery works in my favour. And since Karan sir is hosting, I’m definitely going to play the ‘nepo husband’ card).”Meanwhile, Maheep Kapoor who has been quite popular ever since she was a part of ‘Fabulous Lives Of Bollywood Wives’ is also a part of this show ‘The Traitors’. Now though, Karan doesn’t trust her. He said indicating the deceptive nature of the show, “I can’t really trust her with anything now.”Meanwhile, Apoorva Mukhija made her first appearance after the whole Samay Raina show controversy where her name was involved. Talking about being a part of ‘The Traitors’, she said, “I think people just think being a red flag is about lying, manipulation and deception, and all of that is true. But to require that, you need brains, which unfortunately most of these people don’t have. So I don’t know if I’m the biggest red flag, but I use one more brain cell at all times.”
